Tuesday after work I met up with a long time friend for drinks and dinner. We decided on the Living Room because we wanted to go somewhere that he had not been. This was very difficult as he is in the food industry. I had been to the LR many many years ago and always remembered what a great time I had. So we went.
We arrived around 5:30 and I think we were the second people in the place. It actually never really filled up, Tuesday, but eventually they had about 1/2 a room full.
We both felt like wine so after cruising the massive, yummy wine list we decided on a glass of Luca, Shiraz. This is a wonderful full bodied meaty red. We decided it was time for an appy ordered the Foie Gras. My friend is a FG snob and loved it, I found it just a tad salty but good none the less. Now we need more wine so we ordered a bottle of St. Francis, Zinfandel. It's $70 a bottle but worth every orgasmic drop! By this time we needed another appy and ordered the Beef Tartare. They mix the tartare right in front of you so you can decide if you want everything in or pick and choose. We went all in and it was to die for!!!!
For the main course I had the pork chop, my friend had the duck and we were joined by this time by one more buddy and he had the ravioli. I could go on all day but everything we absolutely delicious. After we swapped bites back and forth I think we came to a unanimous decision that the ravioli was the most unique for flavors.
Naturally we had to have desert so we shared a lemon curd creme brulee with a glass of Moscato. All I can say is. OMG!!!!!!! I think I've gone to heaven!!!!!
So to make a long story short, I love the Living Room. They have been in the same space for 12 years, and in Calgary that alone say something!!!!!!!
